Schloss Tüßling, 16th-century château in Tüßling, Germany
Schloss Tüßling is a four-wing château from the 16th century distinguished by its symmetrical courtyard facades. The building features granite stone columns on the ground floor, while the upper stories display slender Tuscan pillars framing the arcaded courtyard.
The castle was built between 1581 and 1583 by Count Johann Veith von Toerring. Following a fire in 1712, Count Ferdinand Marquard von Wartenberg carried out significant alterations, including reinforcement and redesign of several exterior sections.
The Saint Vitus chapel in the east wing holds religious artworks and decorations that were refreshed in the early 18th century. The space carries marks of this earlier restoration, giving a sense of the spiritual life that once filled the castle.
The castle is located at Marktplatz 1 in Tüßling, east of Munich. Today it serves various functions including events in the grand festival hall of the north wing, which may be open to visitors during certain occasions.
The exterior walls display intricate sgraffito plasterwork that was added during later modernizations to shield the facades from weather damage. This surface technique creates a decorative pattern visible from a distance.
